Dental implants are considered the gold standard when it comes to replacing missing teeth because they are the only solution that addresses tooth loss both above and below the gum line. They provide a strong, stable foundation for high quality replacement teeth. Unlike other solutions for missing teeth, dental implants restore nearly all of your original bite strength and can prevent and even reverse bone loss in the jaw.

Dr. Caputo has over a decade of experience in implant dentistry, placing an average of 20 dental implants each month. He is a graduate of the Georgia Health Science Center Maxicourse of Dental Implant Education, which requires 300 hours of training, and pursues continuing education to stay up-to-date on the latest technologies and techniques in the field.

Implants are an excellent solution for most patients, but they are not right for everyone. During your consultation with Dr. Caputo or Dr. Bresciani, they will assess your oral and overall physical health to make sure you’re a candidate for the procedure. If you have underlying health conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes, or if you have active dental health issues like cavities or gum disease, you will need to get them under control before moving forward with dental implant procedure. Patients with severe jawbone loss may need bone grafting in order to be eligible for dental implants.

We offer the following dental implant restorations at Chagrin Falls Dental:

Single tooth dental implants are used to support a dental crown that replaces one missing tooth. A minor oral surgery procedure is needed to insert a small biocompatible titanium post into the jawbone, which replaces the root of your tooth. A healing cap or cover screw is placed on the implant post to allow it to heal. Once the implant and your jawbone have fused together and created a stable base of support, the cap is removed and we use an abutment to attach your custom crown to the implant.

When several adjacent teeth are missing, we use an implant-supported bridge to replace them. Dental implants are used to replace the two outermost missing teeth and anchor a custom-made bridge for a restoration that looks and functions like your natural teeth.

Two dental implants can be used to add strength and stability to a removable denture; with a few more, your implants can support an entire arch of fixed, high quality replacement teeth. Both solutions are preferred to traditional dentures, as they produce a stronger bite, fit more comfortably, and don’t slip or pinch.

This unique implant solution involves replacing a complete upper or lower arch of teeth with a high quality restoration supported by only four dental implants.

Yes, dental implants are worth it—they’re durable, stable, and they look and function more like your natural teeth than traditional bridges and dentures. They’re also the only option that can prevent and reverse bone loss in the jaw.

No, you will not be given IV sedation for your dental implants. We offer alternative forms of sedation to help you relax and the local anesthetic we use ensures that you won’t feel any pain during your procedure.

You won’t experience any pain during your dental implant placement, but once the local anesthetic wears off, you’ll begin to have some tenderness and swelling at the surgical site. This is mild and can be alleviated with cold compresses and over-the-counter pain medication.

There are a few types of dental implant procedures that can be done in one day, but they’re not a fit for every patient. We’ll let you know if you’re a candidate for same-day dental implants during your consultation.

Of course! This is a concern that many patients have, but a temporary restoration—sometimes referred to as a dental flipper—can be used to replace your tooth while you wait for your permanent restoration.
